with_o all_o our_o power_n we_o humble_o and_o earnest_o beg_v of_o christian_a king_n and_o emperor_n that_o a_o free_a christian_n and_o lawful_a council_n may_v be_v conu●ked_v in_o which_o the_o

they_o provide_v for_o themselves_o will_v not_o permit_v any_o point_n to_o be_v decide_v by_o catholic_n bishop_n alone_o but_o every_o minister_n yea_o layman_n must_v have_v vote_n in_o they_o

upon_o the_o great_a enquiry_n he_o can_v make_v he_o esteem_v the_o best_a church_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n i_o desire_v no_o other_o judge_n but_o the_o prelate_n of_o his_o own_o church_n whether_o by_o examine_v his_o principle_n i_o have_v not_o demonstrate_v how_o that_o contrary_a to_o command_v and_o his_o public_a engagement_n he_o have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o defend_v she_o that_o he_o have_v betray_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o church_n to_o all_o the_o fanatic_a sect_n which_o have_v separate_v from_o she_o and_o with_o most_o horrible_a cruelty_n seek_v her_o
